        I looked at the code. It contain really a huge numner of
        errors. Even trying to fix this bug will leave open a huge
        number of other bugs...

        The code it's really old, not maintained and probably it
        requires a rewriting that I have no time to do alone.

        For the moment I will orphan the package, probably it could be
        safely removed from the archive, I think.

        Regards
